My New Favorite - Celery Soup


Sometimes you just need comfort food, don't you? I don't know why, but this is my current favorite... I can't wait to get to the store and get more celery! Great thing is, you can even use the center, the leaves, etc. of the celery, so it's a great way to use up the not-so-great parts that normally go in the trash in most families. This stuff is easy and delicious - the entire family loved it, and that is rare, as they (we) all have such different tastes!

It's good to have, too, because there are many recipes that call for cream of celery soup and this is so much healthier than Campbell's. If you want to make it concentrate (as a can of soup would be), Use only 1-2 cups water in place of the 4 cups you'd blend in with the cashews.

Cream of Celery Soup

2 ½ cups celery, chopped fine
4 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken-style seasoning
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup cashews, raw
¼ cup cornstarch

1. Cook celery, water and chicken-style seasoning on a low boil until much of the water is gone, about 15 minutes.

2. In a blender, blend cashews and remaining water until very smooth, about 2 minutes.

3. Combine all, bring to a boil, stirring, and cook for about 2 more minutes.
